Sustainably designed for the conscious yogi, the new eKO 3.0 features an improved Catch-Grip™ surface texture for impressive grip in wet and dry conditions, combined with Manduka's Responsive Ride™ layer for a cushioned, resilient ride.
Sustainably harvested and made from recycled non-Amazon harvested tree rubber, the new eKO Lite supports both your practice and our planet!
Each Manduka Marbled yoga mat is handmade, so no mat will be the same. Slight variation in color and pattern may occur.

Use & Maintenance
- Keep your eKO yoga mat fresh and clean smelling by wiping it down after each practice with Manduka's Mat Wash & Refresh.
Maintain the performance of your eKO yoga mat by applying Manduka's Natural Rubber Yoga Mat Restore once a month. Let the cleaner sit for 5 minutes and use a clean cloth to gently wipe the mat dry before rolling it up or using it.
- Always ensure the yoga mat and floor are completely dry before placing the mat on the floor. A wet mat or wet floor can cause color transfer and stains on the floor.
- Do not expose the mat to direct sunlight. If wet, let the mat dry before rolling it up. Store your eKO yoga mat rolled up and in a bag or cover for best performance when not in use, as prolonged exposure to air and sun can damage the rubber on the mat.
- The eKO® yoga mats cannot be machine washed, this will damage the mat and accelerate the breakdown of the rubber mat.
- Do not soak or submerge in water.
- Do not use the salt method on the eKO® yoga mats.
- Using the eKO® yoga mats in a warm environment can dry out the rubber and thus reduce performance and flexibility of the material.
Green Mission
The new eKO® is a natural yoga mat made from sustainably harvested tree rubber and contains over 30% recycled rubber. Unlike other rubber mats available today, the foaming agents used to create the eKO yoga mat are non-toxic. This means that no toxic chemicals have entered the manufacturing process to soften the rubber. Additionally, Manduka has chosen to use a blend of polyester and natural cotton instead of synthetic polyester as reinforcement.
